SLC-S26/W4 | "pottery for your home decor out of plaster of Paris

Materials I Used

½ kg Plaster of Paris

Water( as needed)

Flat plastic mold

Small bowl & spatula

Oil for greasing mold

Two small sticks( for holes)

Acrylic paints( orange, yellow, black, green, brown)

Rope and 3 small hooks

Glue gun

---

Step 1 Mold Preparation

I first lubricated the mold with oil so that the POP would not adhere to it. A flat mold was stylish because I claimed a strong and prim base for my key rack.

---

Step 2 Mixing the POP

I precisely mixed POP powder with water in a bowl applying a spatula. I wearied a mask because POP creates dirt. After mixing, I got a svelte and slightly watery paste.

---

Step 3 Pouring & Drying

I streamed the admixture into the mold and gently tapped it to peel air bubbles. Then, I fitted two sticks to form holes for swinging. I left it for 2 hours to dry fully.

---

Step 4 Demolding & Painting

After drying, I peeled it fluently from the mold. The holes were grand for slinging rope. Now neared my beloved part — painting! 🎨

I painted a evening scene with orange, yellow, and brown tones. I similarly added small palm trees and birds for a natural expression.

Eventually, I fastened three hooks with glue and reached a rope through the holes to hang it.
